A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens

December 31, 2014 by Ewandini 4 Comments

Everyone knows the story of Ebenezer Scrooge and A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens as the story of a mean old miser named Scrooge who has a change of heart after being visited by four ghosts. I have seen many film versions of this story, but I can’t really choose a favourite amongst them as they include things that I like and things that I don’t. The main difference between the movies and the book is that the book has many things that the movies […]

We Read It Together, So We Are Reviewing It Together

Wonderstruck by Brian Selznick

September 29, 2014 by Ewandini 7 Comments

Mrs. Julien read this book to Ewandini, so we are preparing a joint review. Ewandini: Wonderstruck is a great book. It is packed with mystery. Who is this? What is that? What ties this all together? The answer is a wolf diorama. Ben has just turned 10 and his mum died a year ago. Suddenly, he makes a strange discovery – a silver locket. It hints to who his dad is, but that is just the main story. There is a side story told in […]

The Genius Files: You Almost Get Killed Thrice

The Genius Files #3: You Only Die Twice by Dan Gutman

August 24, 2014 by Ewandini 1 Comment

The Genius Files #3: You Only Die Twice was the third book in the Genius Files series. I forgot to review the second one because I was pretty sure I already did. In this book, they have a new villain, an evil Elvis impersonator. Let me just say, the book ends with a bang, a very big bang. Read this book as they go from Washington on their way to back to California and I swear the third book will make no sense without the second […]

A Boy and a Tiger Doing Not So Smart Things

The Essential Calvin and Hobbes and The Indispensible Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson

August 20, 2014 by Ewandini 1 Comment

You’ve probably heard of Calvin and Hobbes which explains my title. In my opinion, these are the two greatest collections of Calvin and Hobbes because one of them has one of the great story lines of Calvin and Hobbes: Revenge of the Babysat. The other one is great because it’s funny and it’s hilarious and it’s Calvin and Hobbes. My parents handpicked these because these had no strips I’d ever read before. They gave them to me because I finished third grade and I always […]

A Series of Cool Stories That Somehow Fit Together

The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman

August 19, 2014 by Ewandini 1 Comment

The title of this review explains a lot about the book. A boy’s parents were killed by a man named Jack. The boy wanders to a graveyard, then he gets taken in by the spirits. They don’t know what to do with him and then a Lady in Grey comes and tells them to take him in. He doesn’t know his own name cause he’s only a little boy so they call him Nobody. His guardian is not necessarily human, but as soon as you […]
